Abstract

See full text

An electronics assembly which includes a grounding connection, having a housing, a connector, a portion of the connector formed around the housing, a recess portion integrally formed as part of the connector, a substrate located in proximity to the connector, and circuitry mounted to the substrate such that the circuitry is at least partially disposed in a cavity formed as part of the connector. A conductor is mounted to the connector such that the conductor is located in the recess, and the conductor is in contact with the housing and the substrate. A grounding connection is formed between the circuitry and the housing when the conductor is in contact with the housing and the substrate. The conductor may be made of an elastomeric material, and the conductor deforms when the substrate is placed in proximity to the connector.
